NYT: Trump’s New Deputy F.B.I. Director Has It Out for the ‘Commie Libs’

Michelle Goldberg, the author of this opinion piece, doesn’t understand how much we enjoy this article. It reminds me of that famous dialogue from the movie, Conan the Barbarian.

Mongol General: Wrong! Conan! What is best in life?
Conan: To crush your enemies, see them driven before you, and to hear the lamentations of their women.
Mongol General: That is good! That is good.

Michelle’s column is all lamentations, and it is good.

Trump nominates Air Force Lt. Gen. Dan ‘Razin’ Caine for Joint Chiefs of Staff chairman.

Air Force Lt. Gen. Dan ‘Razin’ Caine may or may not be the right person to be chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, but Trump tells a great story about meeting Caine in Iraq.

Audit everything

The last time Fort Knox was audited, was in 1974.

Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent says there is an audit every year

Internal and external audits aren’t the same thing, but corporate media won’t explain that. Who cares? Nobody trusts the government, so audit everything and report the results.

Regular guy is now running the Social Security Administration.

This is old news, but it’s been bugging me.

The UK government is all mixed up.

I’m the abortion campaigner name-checked by JD Vance.

It’s really disappointing to see how the UK government has deteriorated.

Progressives are cool with censorship.

CBS host blasted for ‘bonkers’ claim that Nazi Germany ‘weaponized’ free speech

This is a minor incident that will circulate on social media as a meme. A CBS journalist was talking to Marco Rubio about a speech JD Vance made at the Munich Security Council.

Well, he was standing in a country where free speech was weaponized to conduct a genocide,

The CBS journalist was making the case that freedom and civil liberties were a tool of the Nazi Party.

Liberals never liked the 2^nd Amendment, Progressives don’t like the 1^st Amendment either. The Democratic Party endorses censorship as long as they are the authoritarians.

What good is the Department of Education?

I taught Physics for 25 years at two nicer school districts and was an instructor for 15 years at an academic summer camp for genius children. There is objective evidence that I was an excellent teacher. Also, I can discuss education forever, so an effort will be made to keep this post limited to the federal Department of Education.

The budget for the federal Department of Education (DoED), is 268 billion dollars. There are 54 million students in k-12 schools. The DoED spends $5000 per student, but doesn’t have any students.
